6 inch gutters
We recommend 6 inch over 5 inch. The wider trough carries more water off a large roof plane, and Detroit Metro Airport records 34.32 inches of precipitation in an average year.
New gutters for a city that filled in by 1970
The median Livonia home was built in 1964, and about 57 percent date from 1950 to 1969. Late-1950s subdivision ads sold face-brick three-bedroom ranches and split-levels with full basements, and many of those houses have lived their whole lives under the first system a builder hung.
That is why installation is a real question here. Seamless gutter installation in Livonia means measuring every roof edge, rolling aluminum to those lengths and hanging it with a fall toward each downspout. The job is the same whether the house sits near Newburgh Road or in Fairway Farms.
Made in your driveway
A roll forming machine turns coil into one run per roof edge, so nothing is cut from stock lengths.
Seamless gutters in Livonia start the same way on every house: a long ranch front gets a continuous piece rather than a string of joints. Fewer joints means fewer places for freeze and thaw to work at, and Livonia sees plenty of both.
What goes up on a Livonia house
Rain gutter installation in Livonia is measured and specified for the roof each system serves.
3x4 downspouts
Recommended over 2x3 so a heavy downpour clears the gutter quickly instead of backing up at the outlet.
.032 gauge aluminum
The stock we form is .032 gauge, rolled fresh for your house.
Hidden hangers
Brackets sit inside the gutter, so the front face stays clean and nothing is nailed through it.
How an installation day runs
- At the estimate
Measure every edge
We note roof edge lengths, corners and where each downspout can run.
- In the driveway
Form the gutter
The machine rolls each run to its exact length while the crew sets up.
- On the roof edge
Hang and pitch
Runs go up with hidden hangers and a fall toward the outlets.
- At the ground
Route the water
Downspouts finish where water can leave the house, which matters in a city the Upper Rouge River flows through.
Where installation fits for Livonia homeowners
Most calls fall into one of three situations.
- 01
Additions and bare roof edges
New gutters in Livonia for an addition need a system sized to the new edge, joined cleanly to what already stands.
- 02
A full first system
If the old run is coming off entirely, see how gutter replacement in Livonia handles removal and the new install together.
- 03
Guards from day one
Fitting a guard to a brand new gutter is simpler than retrofitting later, so ask for it at the estimate.

What homeowners say
Gutter Guys gave me a good quote and completed the work in one day. Pleased with the experience. Gutters look great
Nathan from Gutter Guys was everything I am looking for in a home-service provider. On time, flexible, honest, efficient and friendly. Just had guards installed today so don't know how they will perform but as far as customer service, I would highly recommend this company.
Quick response to my request for a gutter cover quote. No high pressure sales here. Straight forward information with more than 1 option. Fantastic serve and communication. I would highly recommend.
Gutter installation questions in Livonia
Can you put gutters on a Livonia house that has none?
Yes. New construction, additions and bare eaves are all part of installation. We measure each roof edge, form the aluminum on site to those lengths and plan where each downspout will run.
How is seamless different from the sectional gutters on older homes?
Sectional gutters come in short pieces joined with seams along the run. Seamless gutters are rolled to the full length of the edge, so the joints are limited to corners and downspout openings.
Are 5 inch gutters still fine on a small split-level?
We recommend 6 inch gutters and 3x4 downspouts over 5 inch and 2x3 for the extra capacity. At the estimate we look at the roof and tell you what we would put on your house.
Should I add guards when new gutters go up?
It is a good moment to decide. A guard sits under the first row of shingles and fastens to the front lip of the gutter, and it is measured to the roofline. Our gutter guards in Livonia page explains the options.
